Splitting bearded irises is an essential gardening task that ensures these beautiful perennials remain healthy and continue to produce vibrant blooms year after year. Bearded irises tend to become overcrowded after a few years, which can lead to diminished flowering and increased susceptibility to disease. By dividing the rhizomes every three to five years, you give the plants more space to grow and access to nutrients, resulting in more vigorous and prolific blooms.
When transplanting spent bearded irises, it is advisable to cut the blades (leaves) halfway down. Trimming the foliage to about half its height helps reduce water loss through transpiration and makes it easier for the plant to re-establish its root system in the new location. This practice also helps balance the top growth with the reduced root mass after transplanting, giving the irises a better chance to thrive in their new location
Additionally, splitting irises allows you to propagate new plants, expanding your garden or sharing with friends and fellow gardeners.
When replanting bearded irises, choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a shallow hole and create a small mound in the center. Place the divided rhizome on top of the mound, spreading the roots out around it. Cover the rhizome with soil, leaving the top just exposed, and water thoroughly to help the plant settle in. Ensure the irises are spaced about 12 to 24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
During this process, having reliable gardening footwear is invaluable. My new HISEA garden boots are perfect for the job. They are 100% waterproof ensuring my feet stay dry and warm while working in damp soil, and they come with a lifetime guarantee, providing both comfort and peace of mind for all my gardening activities.
They offer 100-year with your lifetime warranty.

Juan thanks so much thanks for your support
❤
@@YvetteJ. evening so glad for your visit and support on my garden journey
@@inspiringgardenkorner I’ve grown to love watch others plant flowers and have suddenly started to try a few myself. I’ve surprised myself with some Boston’s ferns that are doing amazing considering I usually neglect and forget to water them. I moved up a notch and started with elephant ears I purchased from Walmart a couple of months ago and they are doing awesome as well. I must say, your garden is mindblowing. I love it.
@@YvetteJ. that is so exciting Yvette!! You’ve chosen some good plants to start with. Now the elephant ear will multiply so place in spot you don’t mine them spreading.
Great boots!
I love the look of them, they look really nice
Great job cleaning up☘
GM Stacy we’ve had a lot of rain the last couple days so they have been great, I was so late in splitting my irises. You stay safe
I love this. Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed, but I needed to do a better job of staying on top of the bearded irises. Thanks for your support and taking this journey with me
great video, thank you for sharing with us. looks really nice and i know the plants will have lots of room to grow. be careful in this heat.
GM Sonie those irises really needed to be thinned out. I normally split on regular bases but got behind. Glad you enjoyed and that’s for your support on my garden journey
Hi there, good morning
@@lionness_simsima5941 Hello hope you are doing well. Thank you for visiting and your support. I read your bio and so love seeing authentic channels. You got my support on your journey.
I love my boots. I just bought a second pair because I got paint on the originals not that I won’t still wear them 😍 my iris’s look like that too
Evening I love mine also. I was working in garden and it just started pouring down and working on my hillside my footing was good. Thanks for sharing your love of the boots and your support
When I have to dig like that I do a heavy watering
@@rosalindinyang1075 GM that is a good idea. When I repot my endless summers I will do that to help it make it easier to get out pot. Thanks for sharing your idea and taking this journey with me
I always dig up plants using what I call a pitch fork, but is perhaps more accurately called a spading fork. It seems that it will damage fewer roots while loosening the soil to extract the plant. I'm curious to know if you chose a shovel for a particular reason.
@@SusanZiegler GM Susan I used the shovel because we initially had that area as a rook bed and I knew we didn’t get all of them out. The back area I knew didn’t have as many that is why I went from the back end. Thanks so much for your suggestions of the pitch fork I have one and never thought to use.
